'I saw the quality here immediately'
It was very early on in his loan season with the club, a first training session at Melwood in fact, when Victor Moses sensed something thrilling could unfold for Liverpool this year.
With three matches remaining on their schedule for 2013-14, the Reds command a five-point advantage over Chelsea at the Barclays Premier League summit.
Tantalisingly, the London outfit visit Anfield this weekend too for a top-of-the-table encounter, although the Nigerian international will be ineligible to compete against his parent club.
He will be watching with interest, though, of course - just as his curiosity was sparked when he initially joined Brendan Rodgers' side in September and saw his new teammates up close.
The 23-year-old said: "Just from seeing the way everyone trained, that first training session, and the games that I played in early on, I could see the quality that we have here.
"There is huge talent at this club, and I knew that this team could go far. We are in a position now where if we win the rest of our games, we will win the Premier League.
"That's not a bad position to be in, is it? It won't be easy, but we have enough players who can win games.
"For me, I just want to play as much as I can, and help the team as much as possible. My job is to score and create goals, but also to track back and do the defensive side as well.
"The manager has been key in where the club has got to this season. He keeps everyone fit and focused. Everyone is on their game - week in, week out - and all we are thinking about is making sure we get those three points every week."
Premier League rules mean that Moses cannot feature in opposition to his permanent employers on Sunday, but he insists that scenario will not affect his personal approach during the lead-up.
Indeed, he is acutely aware of the two matches to follow after the clash with the Blues and is determined to be at maximum capacity should he be called upon to contribute.

"It will be strange for me, but they're the rules. I will train this week as normal," added the forward, who has struck twice in 21 appearances for Liverpool.
"My job is just to make sure I stay fit, because we have other big games coming up, which I want to be involved in. I just have to work hard and to help the team as best I can."
He continued: "Everyone is involved - whether they are playing or not. I know I haven't played a lot of games, and there are a few others in the same position.
"But the most important thing we can do is to show our support to the players who are playing. What I want is what is best for the club. As long as the club is doing well, I am alright, and obviously I am really pleased with where the club is at, at the moment."
In addition to the impression made on him by the Liverpool squad, Moses has equally been taken aback by the vociferous support of the club's fans.
"When I first came to Liverpool, all everyone talked about was the fans, and they have been amazing," the No.12 added. "Wherever you go, you feel the passion of the supporters, which is great for us players.
"I've been amazed at the sheer level of support, the amount of fans and the passion that they have for their team. They've made it a very enjoyable time for me."
